Buff kektor too

calm bison
#

You’re not supposed to use the 25mm against ground vehicles that aren’t Jeeps

#

It’s for air targets and infantry

royal swan
#

It's so infuriating how the devs are out of touch with the idea of jets

arctic grove
calm bison
#

You could practice

echo trench
calm bison
#

And get better with them

paper sentinel
#

What wete the bombs called in jets on bf4

arctic grove
calm bison
#

JDAMs

paper sentinel
#

Where it was black and white and you would have to stay on target to hit tanks

#

Give that to jets

calm bison
echo trench
calm bison
#

The former is pretty effective

arctic grove
royal swan
#

Bro the jet to ground combat is so fucking boring I rather be a fucking gunship machine gun gunner

arctic grove
#

choose agm and you get annihilated by other aircraft

#

choose IR and you get annihilated by ground anti air

calm bison
#

Not really

echo trench
calm bison
#

If you know how to dogfight you’ll win A2A

arctic grove
calm bison
#

Why are you trying that

royal swan
#

The most effective ground combat for jets is doing a ramming

calm bison
#

Use your 25mm

#

Against jets

royal swan
#

I remember when people only used jets to ram spawn

arctic grove
royal swan
#

They were so fucking useless

calm bison
#

All I hear is a skill issue

royal swan
#

Cope

calm bison
#

The 25mm is perfectly fine against air targets

arctic grove
royal swan
#

They were terrible and no one used them effectively

arctic grove
#

btw enemy has 25 mil to AND air to air missile

#

who do you think will obviously win

calm bison
arctic grove
#

that matters how exactly

royal swan
#

OOOH cool no one cares

echo trench
calm bison
#

That’s 1200 kills against vehicles each

royal swan
#

I t1 an emp grenade and no one is impressed by that

calm bison
#

Because it’s an EMP nade

arctic grove
calm bison
#

You throw it and it disables technology

royal swan
#

Not really so special, unless that t1 is a civilian vehicle

#

During s1 of course

calm bison
#

I don’t know how to tell you this. The 25mm is fine against air targets and infantry

#

If you can’t aim with it

#

Practice

#

If you’re going against tanks and AA use AGMs or rocket pods

echo trench
calm bison
arctic grove
#

imagine in real life you only have jdam and going against somebody equipped with air to air lmao

#

your air force would get destroyed

calm bison
#

Real life?

#

Fucking real life?

echo trench
calm bison
#

This is a world where this fuckin quadcopter bike is used in a military setting

arctic grove
#

same principle holds here

calm bison
#

The 25mm has good spread and no damage drop off

arctic grove
calm bison
#

Not if you’re good with jets

#

Most high level pilots in 2042 like Naizark, Silk, and iDF_Rf use the 25mm for a reason

echo trench
# calm bison Because they suck

If you were in a jet, ||and you didn’t use the piece of shit technology that the Americans have locked for purposeful advancements over the Russian forces||,a.k.a. VTOL, I guarantee you wouldn’t get me with a 25 mm.

Jets are a shadow of what they once were and how they used to be so fun in the older bf, now it's just a glorified minigun that is forced to be attacking helis

calm bison
echo trench
calm bison
arctic grove
calm bison
#

It takes time to get in and out of VTOL mode

calm bison
arctic grove
calm bison
#

The radar missile you just had to react quickly with

hearty kiln
#

Its more a question of if the enemy has coordination at all between their air and ground

calm bison
#

You get infinite flares in this game but they recharge

arctic grove
#

you flare against one 2nd one is already on you lmao

calm bison
#

If you have good map knowledge you can also break the path of the missile

hearty kiln
#

Aa vehicle watching a dogfight is always going to change the course of things

calm bison
arctic grove
royal swan
#

Why do you need map knowledge in bf2042. Hell the maps that you may need are kaleidoscope and hourglass

arctic grove
frail sentinel
#

why did i get a pop up saying daily limit?

calm bison
royal swan
#

Nearly all of the maps in bf2042 for air combat are the same

arctic grove
#

you can break lock on ground anti air but from air to air you're just fucked unless you fly so close to ground behind some building and he isnt behind you

royal swan
#

You can argue for exposure

#

But that's simple to understand

calm bison
#

If you want to understand where jets are in this game go watch players like Silk and Naizark

#

People who have gotten 100+ kill games in jets

arctic grove
#

talking about normal players not people who leave their room once in 2 years

calm bison
#

“Uhhh but they’re really skilled” yeah and you can be too

arctic grove
#

that isnt the point is it

#

game is supposed to be balanced

calm bison
#

It’s as simple as this

#

Get good

#

Jets are fine

#

If you really wanted to see them suck

#

You should’ve seen them on launch day

royal swan
#

Jets again are a shadow of their former selves

calm bison
#

Where the F-35 didn’t have a repair module

#

And flares didn’t work half the time

#

That was true suffering

#

Also the F-35 had a wider turning circle than the SU-57 at that point

hearty kiln
#

And scout helis didnt even need flares lol

calm bison
#

And wasn’t fixed until Season 4

#

Meaning for a while, the Felon was top dog in the skies

#

Except for now

#

Where the F-35 dominates because the felon is as wide as Jupiter

drowsy shuttle
#

Are you guys from the army or something?

calm bison
#

Nah

drowsy shuttle
#

Gawdayum I just shoot shit lol

calm bison
#

See this guy gets it

arctic grove
#

im not nolifing this game just for jets to be decent

calm bison
#

You don’t have to no life to be good in jets

royal swan
#

Jets like this game are bland as fuck that's were my opinion stands

#

I hating them because I loved the old bf jets

arctic grove
calm bison
#

Dude I spend like several weeks away from 2042 because of college and usually every time I hop on I’m decent with them

merry coral
royal swan
#

And I hate them more because the devs are so out of fucking touch and think jets should be this anti heli shit not this jack of all trades

calm bison
#

But they are Jack of all trades in this game

#

They counter air and ground

arctic grove
calm bison
#

And

#

There’s an and

merry coral
royal swan
#

I have yet to be killed by a jet as a tank or aa

calm bison
#

I carry 25mm and rocket pods

#

I do just fine with that setup

royal swan
#

I played this game since launch and all of the times I got killed on the ground from the air it's been helis

hearty kiln
#

One of my greatest joys in battlefield has always been blowing shit up and destroying cover

calm bison
#

I like rocket pods a bit better since their only counter is APS and not the thermal smoke

hearty kiln
#

I like crawford for trees lol

royal swan
#

The true jack of all trades is the gunship

calm bison
#

Most players are going to gravitate towards the helicopters

royal swan
#

Saying the jet is the jack of all trades is the same stink as saying hourglass is a good map

calm bison
#

Most jet players I’ve fought range from competent to “holy fuck who let you fly this”

calm bison
#

Not to mention all the people who just use it as a taxi

#

Most people suck in jets because they don’t take the time to learn them

#

It’s as simple as that

drowsy shuttle
#

So 4x scope has glint right? Only 3.5x and down doesn't, right?

arctic grove
drowsy shuttle
#

In snipers I mean

royal swan
lone void
#

Think so

calm bison
royal swan
#

And you're downplaying your self to make it look easy

calm bison
#

There are several air superiority servers in portal

#

That’s usually where I practiced dogfighting

lone void
#

Flying jets is silly

calm bison
#

I don’t use the F-35’s VTOL because it makes you a sitting duck

#

And it’s kinda unnecessary

#

Most good players just turn on afterburn and get the hell out of dodge

drowsy shuttle
#

Do you guys remember how cool the jets looked in the launch trailer? I 'member

royal swan
#

I remember when jets actually were as effective to ground as helis

lone void
calm bison
#

I mean it showed that the F-35 was so bad the pilot had to use an RPG just to kill the enemy jet

calm bison
lone void
#

Bro was in front you don't just J-turn a jet man

calm bison
#

It was called BFV Wake Island BT during 5.2

#

With the OHK 500lbs bombs

#

Great stuff

#

Remember the orbital flares?

royal swan
#

I hate them now because I loved that shit in the past

calm bison
#

So wait

#

You hate the jets in 2042

royal swan
#

Dropping bombs and getting multi kills

calm bison
#

Because you can’t just completely body the server with little effort?

lone void
#

Jet hard. No like.

royal swan
calm bison
drowsy shuttle
#

This jets guy

lone void
#

Watch yo jet

arctic grove
#

heli actually has proper system because you can target both ground and air with it

#

thats what jets lack @calm bison

calm bison
#

But the jets don’t?

#

Even though they have rocket pods and AGMs?

arctic grove
royal swan
#

Jets don't have bombs

#

But helis do now

#

For some reason

lone void
#

You can target ground with jets it's just harder

#

They've always had ATGs

calm bison
#

Well the AGMs just require a lock but the rocket pods are dumb fire

royal swan
#

Helis have explosive bullets

#

But jets don't

calm bison
#

I mean you have the godawful 30mm on jets

arctic grove
lone void
#

Jet gun bad

arctic grove
#

thats the problem

calm bison
#

But that’s really only useful against tanks

calm bison
frail sentinel
#

does throwing knifes count as melee kill?

calm bison
#

Do you think jets can only carry one type of munition per life?

lone void
calm bison
#

As in you can’t have both the 25mm and rocket pods?

royal swan
calm bison
#

A decent pilot will be able to use the 25mm because of its accuracy

royal swan
#

It really bugs me how jets only have 2 missles

drowsy shuttle
calm bison
#

Also you unlock rocket pods after like 20 kills with the jets

lone void
#

The obvious solution is to just have friends so they can soflam vehicles for you to IR missile tanks

arctic grove
#

you realize sams exist right?

royal swan
#

And jets could only have one missile upgrade

calm bison
#

Buddy

#

There are no ground forces

#

In a gamemode

#

Called air superiority

royal swan
#

Like come the fuck on give us rocket pods plus lock ons

arctic grove
#

^

#

literally

lone void
arctic grove
#

Fucking heli has it why cant jet

lone void
#

As in, to have air superiority

royal swan
#

The attack heli fucking has that set up but jets cant

lone void
#

The attack heli smart rockets suck tho

calm bison
#

Because that’s how that works?

arctic grove
#

sead is part of air superiority

#

at least it should be

royal swan
#

Looking on the jets model it has the fucking space for it

#

It looks like a fucking scout jet with that missile set up it has

calm bison
#

I feel like y’all are forgetting

#

Rocket pods on jets can take down enemy aircraft pretty quickly

lone void
#

Just don't miss lmao

royal swan
#

So can the helis

calm bison
#

(Assuming you can aim them properly)

#

Yeah so what’s the issue

arctic grove
#

the issue is that you think everybody should be a crackhead with jets in order for them to be useful

calm bison
#

I’m not saying that

royal swan
#

But it's literally the case

calm bison
#

I never said you needed to be a hardline gamer in order to play jets

lone void
#

I can't even fly anything that isn't a condor without the blessing of God so I don't even care kekejam

calm bison
#

I said you needed to practice

royal swan
#

Stop downplaying yourself

calm bison
#

You don’t just hop into a car and instantly know how to drive it without prior knowledge

arctic grove
arctic grove
#

just practice

#

trust

calm bison
#

Then go grind air superiority matches and get unlocks

#

Air superiority matches are like the perfect place to do that

#

Because everyone will be using A2A stuff

royal swan
#

Those aren't even in the based aow

arctic grove
royal swan
#

It's rare to get one in portal with good ping

lone void
#

Everyone in air superiority is a try hard tho

#

I can't go 5 seconds from spawn before being sniped by a jet on the other side of the map

royal swan
#

Plus all of the portal matches are garbage skill issue hardcore and XP boosting

lone void
#

Portal servers suck

#

And people want a custom server browser

calm bison
#

Granted I’ve spent like 5 years in this franchise just flying planes so I am a bit biased here

#

But still

lone void
#

I bet you played the attack plane every match in BF1

calm bison
#

I joined BF4 in 2017 and starting flying

lone void
calm bison
#

And I turned out alright

royal swan
#

So that's why you were downplaying yourself

royal swan
#

Fucking hell

calm bison
#

Namely the fighter

lone void
#

Oh that's not so bad then

#

Attack plane can eat shit

arctic grove
calm bison
#

Most used vehicle in BF1 is the sopwith camel

calm bison
arctic grove
#

sure

calm bison
#

I’m like the diet version of the pilot community

royal swan
#

I bet you ain't

calm bison
#

My most used aircraft (The P51D in BFV) is sitting at around 3.5K kills

#

There are people that have 4 times that amount on the same aircraft

dark dome
#

Show them stats sonny

lone void
#

Do people enjoy playing the flying kill generator?

#

Like, genuinely do pilots enjoy themselves

arctic grove
lone void
#

Is it not boring

arctic grove
#

you cant judge like that if you been playing jets for 5y lol

calm bison
arctic grove
#

with missiles

calm bison
#

The AGMs are right there

lone void
calm bison
#

Done

#

Now that’s rookie numbers right there

lone void
#

Oh my god they're so cute compared to the other 3 games

calm bison
#

Lemme pull up someone

lone void
#

Does he need therapy

calm bison
#

Those

#

Are crackhead stats

lone void
#

What's the KA-52 alligator

calm bison
#

The Super Hokum

lone void
#

Is that the Russian attack heli?

calm bison
#

Yes

royal swan
#

I'm going to point out that a heli is above the jets in a large margin

lone void
#

Alligator is way cooler wtf

#

What's a super hokum at home skullemoji

royal swan
#

The nightbirds is indeed the biggest terror in the sky right after attack heli

calm bison
#

Like again

merry heart
#

hi anyone have good tips on being a good condor pilot?

calm bison
#

Uhm

lone void
#

Fly better

#

Condor easy

calm bison
#

Fly it like you stole it

royal swan
merry heart
lone void
#

If someone spawns in the gun, sometimes hover over an objective for a bit.

royal swan
#

It's absolutely hilarious how effective gunship are at killing anything

lone void
#

Get good height before switching to horizontal engines or you'll fall down

#

It climbs like shit for a few seconds on horizontal flight

calm bison
#

The condor is the size of a house so it makes killing it in jets pretty easy

#

Hinds? Not so much

lone void
#

Handles really easy tho

royal swan
#

Get a good angle and hope for good gunners and you can make jets wet themselves

lone void
#

Condor is the only aircraft I can fly reliably without being a complete tool on the controls

calm bison
#

16 rockets that do 10 damage each

#

To gunships

#

They do more against other vehicles

lone void
#

Brug

#

Gunships are just a meme aren't they

arctic grove
#

attack helis are insanely op

calm bison
#

Pretty much

calm bison
#

I’d say the attack helicopters are pretty balanced

royal swan
#

You can joke about gunship, bad players fly them alot

calm bison
#

Especially given where they were prior to the buffs

merry heart
#

what is the russian equivalent to the condor?

lone void
#

I just love that they changed them to "Gunship" and didn't say anything just to stop people complaining about it so much

calm bison
lone void
#

Super Hind stupid powerful

merry heart
lone void
#

I still think it should have less armour/health than the Condor

arctic grove
#

also wtf is my sentry doing dawg

calm bison
#

It’s unlocked by default

royal swan
#

It's so funny pursuing helis with the hind

arctic grove
lone void
#

Hind should be weaker than Condor

royal swan
#

Get a good angle and good gunners and it is very possible

arctic grove
#

not helis by itself but mainly tow missiles are op

copper ice
lone void
#

TOW missiles aren't OP, they're very high skill/reward as far as I can tell

#

Especially if you're using them on aircraft

merry heart
#

great

drowsy shuttle
#

So I'm guessing the heavy suppressor is totally useless without subsonic?

royal swan
#

Tow missile are not that high skill

merry heart
#

crashed my condor in 30 seconds after spawning in just now

royal swan
#

They are medium skill at best

copper ice
royal swan
#

Honestly we need a new AA vehicle

#

And some ai AA at spawn

#

And add the AA structures in the other maps so it isn't just exclusive to reclaimed and only some portal maps

arctic grove
#

theres enough anti air lmao

#

what else could someone add

copper ice
#

actual AA emplacements, something for infantry that isn't lis and isn't useless

royal swan
#

That's what I said

copper ice
#

exactly

royal swan
#

On the third part

#

We need more of that shit

arctic grove
royal swan
#

Also they are nerfing lis to be aggressive towards ground vehicles

#

That's what I heard from the podcast

royal swan
#

All I see are lock on missiles and lissiles

arctic grove
copper ice
#

Yes

royal swan
#

I want proper AA emplacements, the return of ai aa, and a different choice from boring wildcat

copper ice
#

The best handheld AA has ever felt was in bfv with the fliegerfaust

#

Infantry AA is normally a poopoo lock on launcher and AA emplacements for damage outside of lock on; 2042 only has those on one map, and the lock on is the worst its ever been in the series

#

there's a reason everyone is just shooting rockets into the air manually

royal swan
#

Also the reward for using the so called fuckton (soflam, dart, roa) is Jack shit and unsatisfying

arctic grove
#

stationary aa guns?

royal swan
#

Yes

arctic grove
#

Fair then

#

some maps do lack them

#

but if you can aim they are deadly

royal swan
#

And some maps desperately need them

#

Hourglass for example

#

You are so exposed nearly all the time

arctic grove
#

i dont think ive seen any

royal swan
#

No it doesn't

#

Hourglass has zero aa structures

arctic grove
#

honestly maps with no jets need less aa emplacements

arctic grove
copper ice
#

jets are minimally relevant to the ground and are more like airborne aa vehicles

#

its basically only reclaimed that has aa emplacements

#

helis are damn oppressive currently

#

flares are just 2 stronk as a defensive tool

tidal hare
#

Just thought about something

arctic grove
#

Am i the only one who thinks the pouches should be universal gadgets?

tidal hare
#

Og Kaleidescape would be a lot more "cinematic" if it was a night battle

#

And what I mean is not Manifest level of brightness

#

More of 100m out you can't see much of brightness

#

Weapon balance would probably be shit if that is the case tho

royal swan
#

Balance in general is shit

#

Like will it change much

tidal hare
#

Probably making sniper more annoying

#

Or mcs more op

#

Or not since glare will make you spotted a mile away

drowsy shuttle
rotund kite
copper ice
#

Ammo pouch is just inferior to ammo box in basically every way

🗒️#Battlefield2042 Update 6.2 - Suppressors & Subsonic Ammo 🗒️

Update 6.2 will include some much-requested improvements to how Suppressors and Subsonic Ammo play within Battlefield 2042.

We're working to improve the beneficial factor of these attachments and how they interact with Minimap Stealth, but also their combined effect when placed together.

⚪️ Light Suppressors will now benefit from Minimap Stealth from 30 meters and below.

⚪️Light Suppressors + Subsonic will now benefit from Minimap Stealth from 15 meters and below.

⚪️Heavy Suppressors will now benefit from Minimap Stealth from 15 meters and below.

⚪️Heavy Suppressors + Subsonic will now benefit from full Minimap Stealth when firing.

We’ll continue to react to feedback and monitor both of these aspects of gunplay. Our intention is to promote as much variety in weapons and builds as possible and we’ll continue to work on that goal.

rotund kite
#

make suppressors good again

drowsy shuttle
#

Oh nice

#

They might still not be worth it tho

merry heart
#

...

#

i crashed my gunship in 1.5 minutes after spawning in

#

god dammit

remote kiln
#

oh cool the changes exactly as I suggested for suppressors

#

now they'll be useful

vocal tusk
#

they just made them make sense

#

Instead of not being spotted outside the range...youre not spotted inside the range

#

(Which isnt really what you said here either)

topaz breach
#

Man I’m having so much fun with this ACW

low timber
merry heart
#

my helo flying sucks

vocal tusk
#

Maybe im reading this wrong tho...the way the describe these changes is not very good

merry heart
#

ok that's enough practice to try to fly a gunship/helo

#

i keep crashing

drowsy shuttle
#

Imo they might not still be worth it.. but we'll see

vocal tusk
#

So...if the minimap spotting now works to keep you off the minmap up to the ranges shown...there is basically no point in using a heavy suppressor now, unless you dont have the option of a light supressor (If you dont want to use subsonic rounds)?

next onyx
#

Better than whatever they were before for sure.

drowsy shuttle
#

That is true

remote kiln
#

yes, but it's better than what we have (now)

drowsy shuttle
#

No doubt I just think might not be enough (of a buff)

next onyx
#

If they want to encourage people to go the Subsonic route make it so that the ammo type removes (or halves) penalties from suppressors.

vocal tusk
#

Just kinda seems like those roles should be reversed, no?

vocal tusk
#

light suppressor suppresses you the most

#

unless you use subsonic ammo...now the heavy supresses you the most?

low timber
#

It’s a typo

remote kiln
# drowsy shuttle No doubt I just think might not be enough (of a buff)

there's no amount of "buffs" straight as just reverting them entirely which makes them usable without scrapping the changes they were going for, such is the dilemma with suppressors, these changes now means it's going to be heavily dependent on your engagement distance of the weapon whether you're going to use them

next onyx
#

Remove the hit indicator removal and push for that instead with zero flash and just generally better velocities than previously.

vocal tusk
#

But...why is the light suppressor paired with subsonic...worse?

next onyx
#

Think it's a typo.

vocal tusk
#

Perhaps

remote kiln
#

it definitely looks like a miss from copying and pasting values

low timber
#

Now just need dice to add more subsonics and heavy suppressors to guns missing them.

vocal tusk
#

So maybe those values should be swapped?

low timber
#

Typo

#

It’s a suppressor, how would it make in any way the gun silent closer to it and louder further from it?

remote kiln
#

set your audio to monotone and job done

vocal tusk
#

I dont think the typo is relating to the supressors being changed to keep you off the map for enemies close to you tho

#

Yes, that makes less realistic sense...but this is a video game

drowsy shuttle
#

Ah wait am I understanding this correctly? (Keep in mind English is not my native language) so you are stealth if you are within 30m but lose stealth (minimap spotted) if you are further? Is that it?

vocal tusk
#

Who cares if an enemy 40m away doesnt see you on the map lol

vocal tusk
drowsy shuttle
#

That's... weird?

remote kiln
#

the patch notes are talking about firing from the first person, not the third person

#

15/30m from the target who is outside the range

drowsy shuttle
#

You got me more confused lol

remote kiln
#

and below just means, below 30m, it doesn't mean inside

next onyx
#

Subsonic drum on scar wen. CursedCat

remote kiln
#

0-30m

low timber
#

The notes are written wrong, it’s ether supposed to say that the suppressor works beyond the distance, or it won’t work below a distance.

remote kiln
#

^

drowsy shuttle
#

Ah gotcha

remote kiln
#

just bad writing for POV perspective

low timber
#

Not a first time

#

I know one guy who saw so many typos in BFV as well

vocal tusk
#

Almost like English is these peoples 2nd language 😛

drowsy shuttle
#

Ahah

royal swan
#

Man the waiting on this update to install

remote kiln
#

the patch notes are badly written since it's talking about the first person from the range, the V6 changes were in the third person, which is where the confusion about this is comes from

next onyx
#

Full patch notes tonight yeah?

remote kiln
#

tomorrow

royal swan
#

Tomorrow

next onyx
#

Tomorrow tonight I'm in the future.

vocal tusk
#

Waiting for that sweet spectator camera to come to the game

#

(From squad deploy)

drowsy shuttle
#

That would be kinda cool

#

But I doubt

low timber
vocal tusk
#

Its already in hazard zone

#

Has been since launch

low timber
#

There was a leak of a spectator mode to come in 6.2 but it was just a leak Hmm

remote kiln
#

still waiting on tank thermals now I need to wait till 2024

drowsy shuttle
#

Yeah always was but that's a totally different game mode...

#

Would be cool tho

low timber
#

Oh you mean a different spectator in a no respawn modes?

tidal hare
remote kiln
#

also thank fuck this ass turret delay is being removed

tidal hare
#

If you set it at dark night

low timber
#

Btw, about the suppressors again, why don’t the sidearm suppressors get their own stats?
Like what am I gonna do with a suppressor on my pistol that hides me from enemies beyond 30m when you are most likely using it on enemies around 20m range? Hmm

next onyx

Why do people need thermals goddamn.

remote kiln
#

cause tanks are ass

next onyx
#

Don't think that'd solve the core issue.

remote kiln
#

only the tor is actually something you can use generically

#

and that's cause they gave it a broken secondary main utility

vocal tusk
#

Thermals is just something everyone will use...cos there is no downside

tidal hare
# remote kiln definitely not

I was referencing the what if Kaleidescape released as mid night battle where you can't see anything around 100m away

remote kiln
vocal tusk
#

Like...oh no...I cant zoom

low timber
#

And the sidearm suppressors are just a reskin of the 6ku that keeps velocity and looses on damage when on a sidearm you’d need the other way around, not saying to swap it around but give us both, like in primaries we have 6ku and wrapped.

tidal hare
remote kiln
#

thermals can't see through smoke, and those are heavily used on other vehicles, and infantry now compared to prior games

next onyx
#

Tanks just need better acceleration.

tidal hare
#

Just press boost all the time

next onyx
#

Go to 0 to 100 a little faster to encourage aggressive use.

vocal tusk
#

IMO...you could balance thermals by removing all friend or foe designation while its active.

tidal hare
#

I doubt those tanks goes 100

#

Tbh

remote kiln
#

that would be fine, if HC didn't exist

tidal hare
#

HC does not exist officially

cunning quiver
#

What time do BF dailys reset?

tidal hare
#

And it can be a portal feature to be enabled back

next onyx
#

I meant 0 to 100%

remote kiln
vocal tusk
#

HC barely existed in the last...3/4 games?

#

It was glorified less HP, no health regen

next onyx
#

A step in the right direction would be to make it so that sundance can't plant c4 as they land.

remote kiln
#

so you need to give it straight power like thermals to make it bearable

vocal tusk
#

Wingsuits should never have removed use of the parachute

low timber
#

Still waiting for that Deagle suppressor as well Hmm

remote kiln
vocal tusk
#

Like ah yes...plow straight into the ground at 70MPH...10 HP damage!

#

Wingsuit should have just added flight time and range...but landing still require a chute or you'd take extreme damage.

remote kiln
#

who needs jets when you can afterburner with gravity

coarse elbow
#

Hey does anyone know at what time zone the "day" pass? I'm wondering when the X2 XP will kick in.

vocal tusk
#

Probably 13:00 CET

#

why would you not use thermals lol

#

then i dont have to look at the stupid operator skins

#

im just shooting at white blobs

merry heart
#

damn

fossil herald
#

or orange blobs if you use 1.25 or 6x

robust vapor
fossil herald
#

but the 2.5 is probably the most versatile and the only white hot color scheme one so people use it more

#

i really like the 6x one though on everything its available for

kindred flint
fossil herald
#

the reticle on the 1.25 thermal is wierd, i really hate the delta look of it and it makes it really bad with some guns recoil

#

but i always run 2 or 3 thermal sights as part of the loadout for mostly every gun that has it available

#

the 2042 guns its really easy to unlock thermals for compared to bf3 guns

merry heart

So uh dice, where are the stationary AA

kindred flint
#

where are stationary MGs?

#

just another forgotten feature

stone cradle

They promised them in S5

So they're legacy features now

Keep up with the times

plush echo
#

Why can’t they bring back old characters skins ?

stone cradle
#

You mean the old classes designs?

plush echo
#

Like I want season 1 battle pass Casper skin and darkangel blasco

#

But I can’t get them at all

stone cradle

Maybe they'll do another redux

I hope so

Goal tonight, grab T1 for the ACW

does the driver error happen with everyone first time you boot up the game?

topaz breach

nah, cause I'm a console player

When will 6.2 patch be available? I can't wait

merry heart

ahhhh 400 more kills to t1 the MCS

merry heart

already t1'd paik, so gotta t1 this shotgun for maximum dong length

topaz breach
#

good luck @merry heart

fossil herald
#

still cant

merry coral
#

is there only 1 shotgun and sniper or am i missing something lol

fossil herald
#

"legacy features" like bruh bf5 says 2023 when you boot it up
when you boot up 2042 it still says 2021

#

in the loading screen

#

but anyway even on portal maps like caspian border they has stationary mg and missile launchers

fossil herald
stone cradle
fossil herald
#

the most advanced wall destruction system ever seen in a fps game, "legacy feature"

#

like bruh you would expect with all the shipping containters they would make them more destructible or something

#

but they dont even let us destroy the village on discarded like that village looks so weak and destructible too

#

the portal maps are a little more destructible

#

also why no more off-map call ins besides vehicles

#

bf5 off-map artillery was awesome

#

especially because of how much buildings it destroys with the destruction system

arctic grove
#

Yea bfv has a lot of fun destruction

topaz breach
#

damn this is my first time on Manifest all day

fallen matrix
runic field
#

do you want steel beams to melt too

#

how about the ground to be too hot to touch and for sand to become molten glass for 10 minutes once hit by a rocket

fallen matrix
fallen matrix
runic field
#

should each floor of the buildings on Hourglass be able to be traveled in? should a tank fall through the roof and through each floor?

#

like what are the limits to realism people want bc some stuff isnt practical

fallen matrix
#

Limits? Ye

#

no limits

fallen matrix
#

stuff like that would be cool to be more featured

runic field
#

didn't people hate that and it caused frame drops to 20

arctic grove
#

lol

arctic grove
#

We have like 20 years of this franchises games to tell people what we want with destruction

#

Btw, we’ve had building floors cave in before in BF1 and V

fallen matrix
#

Version V also has this damage thing that makes it attractive

arctic grove
#

People have always wanted destruction, it even used to be one of the frostbite engine and battlefields main selling points

#

Not necessary, pardner

i enjoy it, and i've started doing the "celebratory dance" to people who keep dying to it. they usually come back for another taste of my bolt

#

it forces me into awkward scenarios, like rushing certain points solo. i got a triple throwing knife kill into a crossbow kill, then did a revvy kill on a me vs 12 point

topaz breach
#

I ran over like 4 different guys in a single swoop with a LAT4 today and it's still killing me

oh i love mk-4 kills

is there someone that can upload a clip for me?

If you do, use the launcher on it

LCMG will work. It can damage jets, scout, and stealth helicopters.

dapper hazel

hey yall! just got this game

if you want to fly the portal vehicles then good luck

dapper hazel

:/

fossil herald
#

only rarely are they in official rotation and finding a server browser lobby is hard

#

and you can only start bot only lobbys for 2042

dapper hazel
#

trial and error time ig

fossil herald
#

also if your flying with keyboard and mouse

#

set space bar to pitch up its an absolute life saver

dapper hazel
#

thank you friendo

#

other than that im really enjoying this game though!

#

i wonder if it really was that bad at launch or just overblown

#

is there a krink in this game btw

Ah you gotta love air vehilce mains whining when they get hit for spawn camping

Who tend start spawn camping to prevent AA

merry heart

the OP shotgun

Oh

TBF that is trash

merry heart

only outside of redacted

drowsy rose

x2000 funnier

Mind's dealing fuckskulls who think because they spawn camp they're elite players

#

Tehn agian sometime tells me that vehicle mains have a chip on their shoulder

fossil herald
#

i love spawn camping in battlefield

weak vector
#

I am insanely exhausted from work today, and talked about the M5A3 in battlebit discord when I meant to talk in this one lmao

#

anyway is high-power ammo worth using?

drowsy rose
#

How the M5 even OP

#

It's medicore

#

50 better ARs

fossil herald
#

every time i do it i try and target tanks just about to leave spawn

drowsy rose
#

Thats still scummy as shit

fossil herald
#

tbh been a unavoidable part of every game since like bf3

drowsy rose
#

Well tehre was a counter

merry heart
fossil herald
#

why do you think they added mines

drowsy rose
#

But Dice decided to fucking just

weak vector
#

Okay I am assuming high-powered rounds aren't worth using, ever

drowsy rose
#

make it useless

#

RIP TOR

fossil herald
#

what better use for a anti-tank mine then on the main road out of the enemies spawn

drowsy rose
#

Mid as shit tank whose sole ability was to snipe shit

glacial quarry
#

this is what pure chaos looks like lol

fossil herald
#

not only that in bf1 and bf5 they gave some very creative and funny tools for people who like anti-tank mines

#

best time to kill a tank is before it gets a chance to fire a single shell

#

always has been

fossil herald
#

lunge mine is my favorite battlefield gadget ever i think

glacial quarry
drowsy rose
fossil herald
#

also in bf5 there is people who spawn camp with planes and kill people before they can take off

#

by strafing the runway or aircraft carrier

drowsy rose
#

BF5's AA was also hit or miss

fossil herald
#

nah the aa in that game is deadly

drowsy rose
#

Either it was too good or planes would just fly too high and shoot before you could see them

fossil herald
#

most deadly anti-air guns in the whole series

glacial quarry
fossil herald
#

fligerfaust is hit or miss

drowsy rose
#

planes could outfly AA

fossil herald
#

wirbelwind and valentine aa are death stars

drowsy rose
#

and just fly down and bomb/cannon shot

#

AA in 2042 is dog shit

fossil herald
#

yeah in 2042 its trash]

#

such limited range

merry heart
#

just kidding

fossil herald
#

nothing like bf5 where you can shoot enemy planes as soon as they spawn in the air

glacial quarry
fossil herald
#

or just way outside the map in general

drowsy rose
#

calling the guy running a console moment is more of a 2042 moment

#

Just insanely bad team recog

fossil herald
#

aa in 2042 might maybe be ok to deal with casper drones and liz missiles

drowsy rose
#

AA can really only functional work well if you have a balsco assisting

#

Why?

#

Because your favorite friend Sundance comes into play if you're not getting painted by 50 people

glacial quarry
#

best AA in this game is TOR

drowsy rose
fossil herald
#

literally stupidly weak against infantry

drowsy rose
#

TOR's niche - vehicle killer

fossil herald
#

dice devs probably got killed by the aa in bf5 too much

glacial quarry
#

i just play BT so i don't have to bother with nerds with 2000 hours in attack helis

drowsy rose
#

DICE - "We heard there were issues about the TOR spawn camping so it's been rendered useless"

fossil herald
#

not realizing how much 20mm and 40mm aa guns were used in a ground-to-ground role in ww2

drowsy rose
#

BF4's AA was monsterous lol

fossil herald
#

bf5 aa was pretty spot on

#

pretty great against infantry

#

can kill light vehicles even

#

but not tanks

#

bf2042 i bet it cant even kill a pond hawk

drowsy rose
#

Cause it doesn't flak

#

It's really a direct hit type thing

fossil herald
#

if you shot at one the driver would have time to bail out and survive still

#

even with direct hits

glacial quarry
#

pond hawk hitbox is weird

drowsy rose
#

In BF4 flying at an AA was literlaly a death sentnace unless you hit first

glacial quarry
#

ive direct hit many pondhawks with tank shells and theres an explosion but zero dmg

glacial quarry
drowsy rose
glacial quarry
#

not completely straight up

#

theres a narrow blind spot

#

its more like 85-88 degrees up

#

if u attack jet from straight up and they dont have APS up they're screwed

runic field
#

7 kills off from cobra grip on the ghostmaker $$$

glacial quarry
#

the funny thing is the APS destroys the JDAM if it directly hits the AA so its better to shoot it at the side where it will still do a ton of dmg

runic field
#

cobra grip and explosive arrow all i want

runic field
#

😄

#

the game just said i am abnormal 😦

#

and kicked me

drowsy rose
#

skill issue

runic field
#

it's because i didn't buy the elite package battle pass 😦

#

at least i'm on Renewal

my favorite casper map

I simply love to hate vehicle mains

#

sooo what guns are everyone liking right now?

merry heart
weak vector

didn't they already get nerfed?

#

what about after nerf? what guns good after that?

merry heart
weak vector

okay, well aside from those three guns, anything else worth using? I did hear they're good but I don't wanna rely on them forever if they're gonna get a hard nerf

VCAR

#

VCAR is for special people who are gamers

#

A lot of 2042 weapons much like BF5 are all very valid to use

#

and depend on play style too

merry heart
#

time to go consciencious objector mode

runic field
#

gotta get used to the range on it now

#

and having way less ammo

drowsy rose
#

Even I dont get 70+ outside of the enemy being extremely bad

#

granted I tend to go everywhere

runic field
#

that's exactly it

#

i'll say this though

#

so like apache pilots will get 50+ in a round

#

but if you let the medics revive people they are extra points $$

#

apache pilots just kill everyone

drowsy rose
#

heli farmers only achieve that because the team they fight is so inesscantly stupid that they just allow it

#

2042 doesnt give much for ground AA thou

#

Cause the stinger is ass

#

Lis is dependant

#

Lasing targets does really do anything and wild cats tend to get focused by every tank and sundance player
